Cathal's photography has gained international recognition, with his work exhibited in galleries within Asia and Europe. He spent several years living in Japan, immersing himself in the culture through his camera. His passion for street photography flourished in Tokyo, where his distinct style gained attention. He was invited to join the Tokyo Streets photography collective and took part in their inaugural exhibition in Shibuya, showcasing his work alongside some of Tokyo’s most renowned photographers.

Last year, Cathal returned home to Ireland and has been actively exhibiting his work in galleries and magazines. Last September, he was invited to take part in Culture Night, where his exhibition was featured in Drogheda’s Night Moves programme. This year, he began with his busiest solo exhibition to date in February.
